AD / MMMS Climate Controlled Storage and Factory Warranty Repair

The Department of the Air Force, specifically the Air Force Test Center (AFTC) at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, has issued a Special Notice for climate-controlled storage and factory warranty repair services for the Mobile Modular Meeting Space (MMMS), a government-owned trade show booth asset. This is a sole source acquisition posted on February 6, 2026, with a submission deadline of February 21, 2026. The contracting officer, 1st Lt Brooke Socolofsky, has determined that only a single source is reasonably available based on an approved Single Source Justification under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). The government intends to award the contract to T.S. and E. Trade Show and Exhibit Logistics Inc., located in Sarasota, Florida, with an anticipated award date of February 23, 2026. The notice is classified as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 238390, with a small business size standard of $19.0 million.

The primary objective is to secure specialized services for storing and maintaining the MMMS, which consists of six wooden shipping crates originally procured in summer 2023, with the period of performance running from February 15, 2026 through August 15, 2026. The contractor must provide year-round climate-controlled, secure storage in a centrally located area of the United States, manage all maintenance and insurance, and preserve the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) warranty coverage, which is contingent upon the system remaining under the OEM's direct control. Interested parties may submit written responses by 3:00 p.m. CST on February 20, 2026, to demonstrate capability to provide these services; however, the government has already identified a sole source based on the OEM's exclusive possession of proprietary tooling, specialized handling equipment, and repair expertise essential to system integrity. Contractors must possess demonstrated capability in repair, modification, and maintenance of the MMMS, as well as the necessary material handling equipment to move the six shipping containers. All inquiries and capability submissions should be directed electronically to 1st Lt Brooke Socolofsky at brooke.socolofsky@us.af.mil.
